Alumni from across the decades came back to the House for an evening filled with conversation, laughter, and shared memories at The Northwest School's 2026 Alumni Reunion.
Graduates and former students had the opportunity to reconnect with classmates, faculty, and staff while exploring the campus, enjoying incredible food prepared by our Dining Services team, and reflecting on the experiences that helped shape their lives after graduation.
From milestone reunion cohorts to more recent graduates, the event brought together members of the Northwest community whose paths may have diverged after graduation but whose connection to the school remains strong.
The Northwest School gave me a breadth of opportunities and a depth of support that was perfect preparation for a liberal arts college environment.
Several alums took advantage of the ability to tour campus and revisit familiar spaces while also exploring newer additions, including the 401 Building which many of them never experienced as students.
As memories were shared, conversations often centered on what has changed, as well as enduring qualities that continue to define Northwest: curiosity, community, creativity, and meaningful relationships.
Northwest challenged me to see the world through different perspectives, a skill that continues to shape my work as a scientist.
At Northwest, I learned that my voice mattered. That confidence has stayed with me throughout college and beyond.
Following the community gathering, alumni enjoyed drinks and appetizers as they caught up on career updates, reconnected with old friends, shared classroom memories, and more.
The Northwest School's Band program inspired me to pursue music professionally and has helped shape the musician I am today.
Until Next Time
As the evening came to a close, one thing was clear: the Northwest community extends far beyond graduation.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's reunion and helped make this event such a success. We look forward to welcoming even more alumni back to campus at upcoming events. Stay tuned!
